Is an interview or campus visit necessary?
Although not necessary, we always encourage you to visit campus—it’s the best way to determine if the UO is the best fit for you. Campus tours are held twice daily, Monday through Friday and once on Saturday. Group-style information sessions, which focus on many common questions and issues, are held directly after the tours. We recommend allotting at least a half-day for the visit, especially if you’d also like to meet advisers or faculty members in specific departments. The tours are delivered by current students and end at the location of the information sessions. A campus visit can help you get a feel for the atmosphere and energy on our campus. Portland-based information sessions are also available at the White Stag Block. More information on visiting the Eugene campus or Portland center is available on the Campus Visits webpage. We don’t conduct formal interviews in the Office of Admissions, but you are welcome to make an appointment with an admissions counselor for specific quest

More information on campus visits. We don’t conduct formal interviews in the Office of Admissions, but students and families are welcome to make an appointment with an admissions counselor for specific questions or issues that they prefer to address one-on-one. Admissions counselors take pre-arranged appointments, as well as drop-ins.
We do not require applicants to interview for admission. However, a campus visit is the best way to decide whether the UO is for you. You may meet with an admissions counselor, talk with a departmental adviser, take a campus tour, and have lunch in a residence hall dining room. We will be happy to make these arrangements as well as accommodations necessary for accessibility and interpretation. The Office of Admissions is open from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday.
